  1. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    Hello there, I recently acquired a 2013 Volt (As in I have had it for just over a week) and I LOVE IT SO FAR! But, being a tinkerer (I work in IT and play with Arduino/Raspberry Pi's all the time) I want to see what all I can do with this car. So, I have a few questions: How do I...
  2. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    Has anyone ever tried splicing into the stock head unit's "video output" signals? I'm wanting to ditch the outdated head unit and replace it with an Android tablet. I know people have used dongles and piggyback systems in the past. However, they just simply provide a new screen that hosts...
  3. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 2 Chevy Volt
    I delivered one of my Volts to the local Chevy Dealer and requested that my vehicle be upgraded to enable Android Auto. During their attempt to perform the upgrade, for the second time, they destroyed my HMI Module and said they can overnight one to them to replace it, for about $1,500.00. I...
  4. General Motors and General Automotive Topics
    Car makers are faced with a new threat to their business model: the car's operating system. Telas has Tesla Software, but oth manufacturers need to shift from a metal pounding mentality to one that increasingly focuses on the softare that runs the car. Do they develop in-house based on say...
  5. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    Hi everyone, I got a used 2017 Volt a couple of weeks ago and I am experiencing issues with Android Auto. Some of the time, the phone connects fine and all is well, but other times nothing happens. I have tried two different phones and three different USB cables and the issues are the same. I...
  6. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    I would like to add android auto to my volt, I've seen somethings but I'm not sure which is the best. I would also like to ask about a better backup camera.
  7. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    When I purchased my 2016 volt in November 2015, it did not come with an android auto pre-installed. I was told that I would need to bring it back to have it installed a few months later. Since the dealer where I purchased it, was too far from my house, I took my car to the nearest dealer (Selman...
  8. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Cadillac ELR
    Are there any tricks to get Android Auto to work? I recently purchased a 2016 ELR and simply can't get it to work. I have Android Auto installed on my Motorola Droid phone. When I use any of the USB connections, I see the phone charging, I might add in "slow charge" mode. The CUE system does...
  9. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    This started happening last week. Plug in phone before I get going. The android Auto Button appears on the infotainment screen. Press it and it just goes black. I left it there for 20 min one day on way home never gave anything but black screen. Phone thinks its in android auto mode. Tried...
  10. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    I have a 2017 Volt. My Samsung S7 just updated the OS to “Oreo”. Ever since, I have been unable to use the nav apps through Android Auto. It lets me set up the trip, but after I start driving, a dialog bubble pops up on the map stating “Lost GPS” or “Searching for GPS” and it stops giving...
  11. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Is there any way to increase or uncap the number of interactions you can have with Android Auto before it locks you out? I really don't think the voice interface is good enough yet, and want the option of clicking around a bit more. It looks like a lot of manufacturers are using the parking...
  12. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    Hello Folks, Just finished editing and uploading a guide to installing the HD-Link IW03GF for the Chevy Volt. A very special thanks to Scott1620 for his original post and original work here...
  13. New Member Introductions
    Hello All: I'm new poster (but I've been a happy lurker for a while). I am likely taking advantage of an email offer I got from GM to "Pull Ahead" in the lease on my 2015 Volt and get a 2017 a few months earlier than I expected. I know the gen II Volt has Android Auto functions. Will a Google...
  14. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Just sharing my recent design for a smartphone car dock/mount/cradle/charger for my Galaxy S7 Edge in my 2016 Volt. I had a wireless charger that I liked but I wanted one that would plug into USB to support Android Auto integration. The drop-in design is custom fitted, incredibly secure, and...
  15. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    So I like android auto, and I also like wireless charging. I have a base model 2016, so I have a wireless charging cradle which is great. In order to get android auto working, it requires me plugging into the USB anyway. Is there a way to get AA working over bluetooth/wifi? According to this...
  16. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    The liner that holds the phone against the front edge of the phone charging slot is too thick on the front, it creates distance which makes wireless charging not work. It's also a bit tight around the edges to fit with my case (and removing the case is WAY more inconvenient than plugging in, so...
  17. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    I'm posting to see if anyone has some insight as to whether this was due to an error on the part of the technician or just random chance. I brought my new 2016 Volt (~300 miles) in for the Android Auto update at the dealership today. I believe it was their first time doing this update, as...
  18. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I never know, when I start the 2017 Volt, whether I'm going to be able to access the music on the USB flash drive or not. Sometimes it works, sometimes the Volt doesn't recognize the flash drive (even if it was in use, when I last turned the car off). If I turn off the phone's Bluetooth -...
  19. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    For those who are having problems getting AA to work, a heavy duty USB cable is a must. I learned this the hard way, but now having trouble keeping the thing plugged into the phone's mini jack. IMHO Chevy should underwrite development of a simpler phone-like device without cameras, display...
